 Great company June 9, 2008

People put a vast amount of work into making something like this and then someone comes on and slaps on a one-star rating for a completely spurious reason (you can't crouch...). I downloaded it on Saturday and gave it a thorough test over the weekend. Just to answer the Call of Duty 4 question, both are superb; best to think of Call of Duty 4 as an outstanding simulation of an infantryman's experience on the ground and in the firing line. Battlefield is more a real-time strategy game from the ground eye view - they do similar but distinct things and I admire both. BC is shaping up to be absolutely brilliant. The graphics are great (though not quite COD quality) and the destructible environments are done cleverly. They don't just blow up, it's realistic. They also give added depth and variety to both types of play. The maps are huge and sprawling, multiplayer is a more thoughtful and strategic exercise where attacks take planning. A well co-ordinated assault conducted over the headphones would be a marvel to enjoy. Vehicles are great, though I found the choppers a real struggle to control and will take time. Actually, I had a bit of a curve on the main controls - why they can't all map the basic FPS buttons the same across the board... it must be just stubbornness. Single player is involving, with many different ways of going about things and a huge array of weapons, vehicles and tactics. Drawbacks - I miss BF2's Hotswap (though this makes a completely different game) and the precision of aiming and shooting doesn't seem as good as COD (though this could be as I've yet to find a weapon with decent sights) and agreed, the loss of parachutes is a detraction. Otherwise, this is the best FPS demo I've ever seen
This game is truly amazing June 6, 2008

I read the two-star review below, and I had to write my own review.
I cannot understand how anyone can objectively 'review' a game in so few lines and totally ignore the entire game / experience. Sorry, but it's not an accurate review.
Here's my take on this;
I'm not a large FPS fan, couldn't really get into Resistance, etc. and the whole genre for me is a little stale. So I downloaded the demo, and oh my God, it's just worlds apart from anything I've played FPS-wise before. The graphics are amazing, they have a gritty look, that really fits with the theme and style of the game, as for the sound, with the explosions and muffled effect you get when something blows up near you is really impressive.
The demo mission itself was exciting, you can drive vehicles, go into buildings (that you can totally destroy) and the whole experience was breathtaking. To give the game 2 stars because you can't parachute drop - what? How is that a review? Substance please. The A.I. was really impressive, and the different weapons had a brilliant feel to them. I was ducking for cover behind a fence, only to have it blown up by the enemy and then finished off by an enemy gunner in a window. Brilliant.
The multiplayer itself is again, no lag, so deep and interesting, different classes you can be, fixing vehicles, support, assault, recon, demolition. This game is going to be BIG!
I can't fault it and I never thought I'd hear myself saying, I can't wait for this FPS to come out!
Brilliant stuff.
Demo review only June 5, 2008

I disagree with the below review.
This game amazed me, if you are after an amazing online experience- batttling in air, foot, tank and sea platforms IN FIRST PERSON (not like warhawk), this is the game for you.
It reminds me very much of the bf2 engine, but there is destructible scenery and a very realistic realism to it.
For me, comparing it to the only good shooter on ps3 (cod4), it has much more playability. There are more maps than cod4, and you can drive, ship it, go in a chopper.. or just walk. There is also squads. For me, cod4 became boring after a while. But looking at the quality of this demo, I have big hopes for the full game.
Play the demo, have your own opinions. Don't be put off!
fps lovers get this game you are going to love it! June 9, 2008

well to start off this has to be one of the best games that i have ever played (demo download at playstation store), i love all of the other battlefield games but tis just has 2 be the best so far. i loved COD4 when it came out but this just has such a better gaming experiance such as u dont just get a helicopter when u kill 7 people u can just get in 1 and kill people yourself, you can also get in tanks, humvis, boats and even sit in an artillery cano and set a artillery atack where you like. the demolition in this game is so fun as you can almost blow up anything e.g walls, trees, bridges. for me i love to snipe unlike on cod4 the maps are to small and as you know if you have the game theres not realy alot of sniping spots but on this game the maps are much bigger and there are so many sniping spots e.g you can sit on a hill and almost see most of the map witch dose get you loads of kills with a sniper unlike cod4 where you cant realy get many without getting spoted yourself dont get me wrong but cod4 is still a good game but this beats it.
BFBC review - based on demo. June 6, 2008
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
I think a lot of peoples problems with this game will be that they love COD4 and want more of the same, now I also enjoy call of duty 4 but find the maps way too small, also, you can't get enough people playing at once. Come on guys, try something new why don't ya.
In BFBC the maps are huge, I played the Gold Rush game last night and got completely absorbed by it. I liked the way it places you in squads, there is much more emphasis on playing as a team, you can obviously go off and do your own thing but you will struggle. Thought the effects of terrain damage was brilliant, running whilst being shot at was great as the ground around you gets churned up making for a very real experience. The fact you can jump in and use the various vehicles was brilliant. A lots been made of the fact you can destroy walls etc, a feature I really liked, for instance last night trying to get into an enemy stonghold two guys camped shooting anything that came up the stairs, the answer, blow the wall behind them out and shoot them in the back like the scum they are ;-)
As you can tell, I quite liked it.
